Ten Cats by Graham Harrop for October 07, 2023

October 08, 2023
We’re doing the pumpkin decorating contest at work again this year. And since there seems to be some stupid rule against sharing pictures, I was afraid to try sending a link to the picture of my entry in the contest. But, then I thought if I use the picture as my avatar, you can see it. So this will be my avatar for October.
No, this is not my own original design. I googled “no carve pumpkin decorating ideas” (I love google and I use it a lot). It showed something like this. The kit costs $13. I don’t know if it includes the black paint. Well, I’m not paying any $13 for a few pieces of stick on foam! So, I bought sheets of stick on foam for under $6 (and there’s a lot left for future projects).This design looked simple enough that I could make my own ears, eyes, wings, and mouth. I think it turned out pretty good! I named my entry “Bat Cat” because it’s sort of a combination of a bat and a cat.
Instead of paint, I used a cheap piece of black fabric (on sale for $1.50 a yard and I used about half a yard). That way, when the contest is over, I can take off the fabric and still have a pumpkin that can be used for pie or to give to the squirrels or whatever I choose to do with it.Voting ends October 31. I’ll let you know how I do.
